Norman is quite right in believning that the government are simply not
listening to the petitions that are presented to them. You only have to
read the government responses on the now discredited 'Petition the Prime
Minister' site.

The sad part of it is that despite the fact that so many people are
disillusioned to the point of not bothering to vote, the No, 10 petition
site caught the imagination of the public and the responses far
outnumbered the government's expectations.

A real chance to involve the public has been squandered and more damage
is being done with every response that fails to answer the concerns of
the petitioner and his supporters.
